I'm sorry, but time stamp on the postings disagrees with you. I posted my former message twenty odd minutes before you did, so just how could I possibly be attacking you?

However, I will admit that you are obviously upset and feel that you must defend yourself - which illustrates my implied point rather well - and that point is that a person's basic philosophy as well as their personal religious and political views are emotional issues.

Now before I get into an argument with you, I should mention that my religious beliefs have not entered into this discussion - in fact even though my views disagree with those shown in Wes' story, they are irrelevant to the issue, which I feel is about one form of freedom of speech. Wes seems to be using his story to illustrate some point of his own -- which is his right.


All I'm doing is requesting that others hold their emotions in check and refrain from attacking those with different opinions.

Perhaps we can agree that following a thread on this kind of a forum board can get confusing. I posted a response on one sub-thread before seeing your earlier posting on another sub-thread.

At first I thought you were telling me not to go around attacking people, but then I remembered that I haven't attacked anyone. So I must have just misunderstood you. Sorry. Really, we seem to agree about quite a lot. I just have this nagging feeling that you're unhappy with something about how I've expressed myself, and it bugs me because I don't understand it.
